Chapter 197 The House is Completed and Ridiculed
After listening to what Old Man Zhang said, Su Panpan felt that it made sense and her heart suddenly became more open.
She secretly decided that she had to take some time out in the next few days to go and take a good look around the shop in the West Market, and then ask Zhou Youliang.
As she thought about it, she regained her spirits and joined the team working.
……
As time went by, in just two days, the house had been completely renovated and presented to everyone in its entirety.
The ground was polished to a mirror-like shine and covered with bluestone slabs, which were flat and solid. People could walk on it steadily and their reflections could be seen faintly.
The walls are painted as white as snow, and under the sunlight, they have a soft luster, as if the whole house is covered with a clean coat. It feels delicate to the touch, without any roughness.
The yard wall is built high, neatly and solidly, clearly dividing the yard from the outside world and giving people a full sense of security.
When you walk into the house, you will find that the kitchen space is very spacious, enough to hold all kinds of cooking utensils and ingredients. The stove, chopping board, water tank and other items are placed in it without feeling crowded at all, allowing people to fully display their cooking skills.
The kitchen is also connected to the tap water designed by Su Panpan, which is very convenient.
The hall is of regular size, just waiting for Su Panpan to decorate it.
There are six rooms in the house, each of which exudes a brand new atmosphere. The doors open and close freely, and the rooms are well lit. They are very suitable as bedrooms for rest or for other purposes.
Next to the kitchen is a warehouse with a large space that can be used to store food, sundries, etc., providing a proper storage place for household items.
Next to it is the bathroom designed by Su Panpan, which is clean and tidy, with complete facilities, bringing great convenience to life.
The yard is spacious and open, enough for children to play and laugh in it, and you can also plant some flowers, fruits and vegetables. When the flowers bloom, the yard will be full of fragrance, and when the fruits and vegetables are ripe, you can taste the fresh taste.
The house is located at the end of the town's upper street, and the surrounding environment has a unique charm of a mixture of bustle and tranquility.
In front of the house is a street paved with bluestone slabs, which is bustling with people coming and going.
There are all kinds of shops lining the street, including a bakery that exudes fragrance, with the exquisite cakes temptingly displayed in the window; a cloth shop filled with colorful cloths, the cloths fluttering in the wind seem to be waving to passers-by; and a blacksmith shop with clanging sounds, where the blacksmith is hammering red-hot iron blocks with all his might under the light of the furnace fire.
Not far behind the house is a small river. The water is clear and reflects the weeping willows and houses on both sides. People wash clothes here.
The weeping willows are swaying, and their slender branches are dancing in the wind, caressing the water surface and creating ripples.
Small boats occasionally pass by slowly on the river, and the boatmen hum unknown little tunes, adding a leisurely atmosphere to the scene.
There is a big old tree with lush branches and leaves next to the house. There are several stone benches and stone tables under the tree. Old people often sit there playing chess and chatting. The crisp sound of chess pieces falling and their laughter are intertwined and echo in the area.
When the morning sun shines, the golden light shines obliquely on the windows of the house, as if inlaying a dazzling golden edge on the windows.
The sunlight penetrates through the window, casting bright spots of light on the floor and walls inside the house. The spots of light move slowly as time goes by, as if a group of lively elves are playing in the house.
Some light filtered through the carved slits in the windows, casting thin shafts of light in the air inside the room.
Dust particles were flying in the air, twinkling like stars, shrouding the whole house in a dreamy atmosphere.
Everyone looked at this beautiful and extremely practical new house, and each of their faces was filled with happy smiles from the heart. The house was finally built.
"Wow, this house is built so well!" Aunt Wang said excitedly with her face flushed.
"Yes, yes, I've lived to such an old age, but I've never seen such a convenient house!" Aunt Liu also shouted excitedly.
Erniu jumped up excitedly, waving his fist and shouting, "Haha, our hard work has paid off!"
Su Panpan was carefully looking around the newly built home.
Shen Ru also happily held Su Panpan's hand.
Everyone was immersed in this incomparable joy, but who knew that trouble was coming like a buzzing fly.
Liu Xiucai in the town, relying on the fact that he had studied for a few years, likes to point fingers at others on weekdays and thinks he is the most knowledgeable person in the town.
When he heard that Su Panpan had designed such a house, he felt extremely disdainful.
The last time he caused trouble and mocked Su Panpan, he didn't get any advantage, so this time he, together with the rich man Wang and his two men, came to the new house in a threatening manner.
"Hmph, what good house can a woman design? What if it collapses when you move in? That would be a joke." Liu Xiucai said sarcastically, his eyes full of contempt. In his eyes, how could a woman who couldn't read a single word design a house.
Mr. Wang also echoed: "That's right, I don't think this house is anything special. It's not worth spending so much time and money on it."
Their words attracted quite a few onlookers, but Su Panpan didn't bother to argue with them: "Liu Xiucai, Wang Caizhu, whether this house is good or not is not up to you to decide. It's a pity that you are not blessed enough to live in such a nice house. You are just sour grapes."
"Oh, you are still being stubborn. I think you are just messing around and pretending to know everything. A woman should stay at home and take care of her husband and children. Why do you have to do all this?" Liu Xiucai continued to sneer, and his face was really disgusting.
At this time, Doctor Li came over. He was close to Liu Xiucai and Wang Caizhu and said, "I think the layout of this house doesn't conform to the principles of health preservation. I'm afraid you'll get sick if you live in it."
Even the private tutor nodded in agreement: "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Su Panpan's behavior is truly against the code of conduct for women."
Su Panpan felt very aggrieved by the doubts of the crowd, but she knew that it was useless to argue with these people.
Their minds have long been shackled by outdated concepts, like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.
But Su Panpan firmly believes that a woman's talent and ability should never be defined by her gender. Just like the bright stars, their brilliance will not be dimmed by the vastness of the night; or like the rushing rivers, their flow will not be stagnated by the obstruction of mountains and rivers.
There are thousands of roads in the world. Who says which one can only be taken by men and which one can only be taken by women?
A woman can be a gentle harbor at home, or a sail that rides the wind and waves outside; she can write the poems of life in the daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, or she can shine brightly on the stage of dreams.
